THE JOHNSTOWN FLOODS
CAUSED By A WATER SPOUT AT
HOOVERSVILLE.
The Village Was Entirely Inundated
and the Destruction to Prop.
erty Was Great.

PIrTsBURG, Pa, June S.-A special
from Johnstown, Pa, says the food
yesterday was caused by water spout
west II Hooversville, Somerset county,
village on the line OF the Somerset
and Cambria railroad. The village
was entirely under water and the de-
struction OF property is great. Many
thousands Of legs belonging to the La
trobe Lumber Company passed here
yesterday. The bridges above here
we're carried away. Kernville bridge
was partly destroyed. The one at
Coopersdale was entirely swept away,
as was the one at Won Lumens, near
town. The destruction Of property is
enormous, but the amount cannot be
sscertsined now.
At Hooversville the work of the
eood is appalling. Upwards Of twenty
residences were washed of their foun-
dations and deposited on the ground.
At least 100 families in this borough
lost everything in the lower story and
cellars OF their houses. The water
having subsidized, the scene today is
one OF decentralization and ruin. Yards
and streets are blocked with debris
and rubbish. houses filed up with
water soaked goods and mud, anu
multrtudes OF women and children
standing abou weeping and mourning
over their ruined homes.
In Grubtown, Conemaughborough,
Worthwhile, Minersville, Cambria City
ard Coopersdsle the same scene is
presented, and it ia estimated in the
suburbs and this city 800 people were
temporarily rendered homeless and
dependent for shelter upon the char.
iiy of their more fortunate neighbors.
No estimate can be mado of the
damage at present, but it is thought
that it will reach $4,000 in this vic.
unity alone. No lives were lost as far
as known. Mrs. MOrrell, relict Of the
Hon. D. j. Morreli, died from heart
disease about IL o'clock last night,
produced, it is supposed, by excite
ment caused by the water surround
ing her house and being several feet
in the lower story. Col. James NJ.
Cooper, wealthy and influential
citizen of Coopersdsle, also dropped
dead from over'excitement. He and
Ms. Morrell were each about sixty
five years of age. A number of other
deaths from the food are reported,
but the rumors lack confirmation.

A Crew Driven into the Rigging
by Scorpions and Centipedes.

A most sensational marine story
was reported at the maritime ex-
change in New York city. The schoon-
er Lucy T. Harvey arrived at Phila-
delphia from Port-au-Prince When q
few days out from the latter port, the
commander, Capt. Hall, and the col
ored crew were terrorized by the APP
pearance Of a hundred or more cent?
pedes which fell upon the deck. They
we're killed by being scalded with boil
ing water. A few days after the stew
ard OF the vessel ran out Of the galley
crying out that the gally was swarm
ing with scorpions and centipedes.
With q lantern the crew marched in
to the galley, but the light fright
ened the reptiles and they fed
to the deck. The sailors, believing
that the vessels fate was sealed, took
refuge In the rigging. and no efforts by
the captain could persuade them to
| return to ths deck to destroy the rep
tiles. For two days the centipedes
| crawled about the deck, compelling
the men to remain aloft most OF the
time. A Newfoundland dog which was
chained forward of the f~orcS-ssle was
bitten so that he died. In the hope
OF discriminating the plague the cap.
tain and chief officers filed pans with
burning sulphur. Only q few hundred
OF the vile reptiles, however were kill
ed. A heavy gale, which ordinarily
Che crew would fear, then sprung up
and with the chengeAeE temperature
and the high cross seas which frequent
" washed on board, the estire mass
or reptiles was washed overheard oil
died from the cold. 1t was thought
that the reptiles came from the YES
sells cargo Of ogwood and cedar,
! which was much decayed.

SAGE AND SINGER.

Within an old town by the sea
A wise man and a singer dwelt;
The wise man spoke laboriOusly
And taught with pain the truth he felt
The singer scattered everywhere
His careless music to the mir.
The wise man and the singer both
Lie now within the churchyard green,
Summer and Spring have plighted troth
An hundred years they have not seen.
No traces OF their vanished feet
Are in the old, high gabled street.
And OF the wise mans labor words,
Not one is now remembered well,
But still AS clearly as Spring birds
The singers simple love songs swell,
And in the old town seem a part
OF every home and every heart.
